The only rights that are fully respected is the prohibition of quartering troops in private homes, and the right to defense counsel.
The 2A is kinda, sorta respected. Why? It isn't because congress doesn't wish to relieve us of our guns.
The 2A is grudgingly accepted because there are organizations that will make electoral life uncomfortable for our congressional dirtbags.
My larger point is that written constitutional rules, like local speeding laws are but “parchment barriers,” (James Madison) and worthless unless there are institutions to enforce them.
Prior to 1913, a senate of the states provided this security. There is zero chance we'll possibly see freedom's restoration until the horrible 17th Amendment is repealed.

Yup.
